idk how Quest For Fire ever got made. "Let's make a movie based on at this time up to date archeology and anthropology on ancient humans about three dudes going on a road trip to borrow a lighter."
Supposedly the scene where the guy taught them how to use a bow-drill firestarter took hours to film because some times it just takes hours to get a bow drill going properly, even if you're good at it.
no way archaeologists thought cavepeople kept perpetual fires going & didn't know how to light stuff themselves, did they? i thought that part was so ridiculous
For a while, yeah.fire was probably discovered as being useful before we knew how to start one. We probably figured out how to move and maintain a fire before learning to start one from scratch.
Yar. It's kind of hard to imagine someone figuring out a bow-drill before they figured out "I can just grab a burning stick from this wild fire and keep the coals alive indefinitely".
But who knows? It's all speculation, maybe they did. You rub things together, they get warm, fire is warm, people are smart. Anything is possible.
i had no idea ron perlman was jewish, he played a neanderthal in a quest for fire lol

My understanding is that it was considered pretty good for the time it was made, but science marches on.
And yeah, various content warnings, definitely read a summary before you watch it.

Is that the one where the female lead gets raped over and over? Might want to put a content warning and spoiler tag on that.
What, on just mentioning the movie title?
